Raffle Round Up
What a great month of Thanks! We had two very successful raffles, one for raising money and one for rewarding our loyal patrons. The Friends of the Bridgton Library raised over $150 for their Patriot Quilt Raffle; all of which will go to fund programs and workshops here at the Library.
We had 1,896 items returned to us during November, up each year since 2017. Thank you to our patrons who check out so many items and then return them for others to enjoy. And thank you to the local businesses who donated some great gifts for our raffle: Bavarian Chocolate House, Beth’s, Bridgton Books, bridgton Lil’ Mart, Firefly Boutique, Grant’s Depot, Groundcover, Hannaford, J Decor, NAPA Auto, Nectar, Paris Farmers Union, Towanda’s, Warrens Florist, and Water Works Car Wash.
And now, to December…
Grow Your Own Microgreens. Microgreens are herb, flower, or vegetable greens grown densely in trays and harvested just after they’ve put on their first true leaves. These tiny greens are packed with nutrients, color, and flavor. They are easy to grow indoors and can take between 7-28 days to produce a harvest.
Kitchen: Soup-Ready Seasonings. Make yourself something lovely as the weather gets colder… these Soup-Ready Seasonings are perfect for your favorite soup or other things as well. Try them in dips, sprinkled (lightly) on steaming veggies, or on olive oil for a great bread dipping experience.
Crafting: Adult Coloring. With autumn coming to a close and winter around the corner, take home one of these bags of coloring pages and colored pencils. Enjoy the time inside while the weather is maybe not-so-great…
